I think he has seen never seen her like this. He has never seen Jodha like this either. If all his begums start changing their behavior at the same time, bechara what will he do! I missed his startled expression - but you always read Shraddha the best! 😆

😆

Yes, he was a tad bit not-too-happy that his wife was celebrating at the loss of another rather than at the victory of her husband..that's what I felt... that's why his question too 'Why such jealousy ruqaiyya?'

Again, you prove you know Jalal best. I think I felt it slightly but didn't make my top 5. Yes, Jalal nails those scenes every time. But, why should he be sad? He knows who his MUZ is 😆

😆 Chsiti Baba said she'd be MUZ but he didn't say when na.. so the 200 episode mark is possibly worrying him too..😆 How many more bhashans and Ruq-Jo problems in the midst, he worried?

on a more serious note, the nagging reminder that someone's still childless will never leave a person's mind till he/she actually have a child😊

Remembering advice when MU looms - goes lil against TRP mantra, nahin? 😉😆

I like positive foreshadowing ... You will never let me forget I am watching an Ekta Kapoor serial will you!

SHE never lets us forget da... 😆 don't blame me!

Wishful thinking..Me thinks MA ka life expectancy is for another 150 episodes 😆

For the life of the serial, that is not too bad. So, SR another 200? 😉

My guess too! 😛

Yup... very well stated 👏 I did find his reaction there a combination of many things... anger, jealousy, frustration everything

Rajat was just awesome yesterday wasn't her- that is secret of your happiness!

RT's always awesome da... he's a capable and handsome actor.. the problem is with Jalal.. whenever Jalal does well ... I become this girlie ...and whenever they portray him otherwise I get all

Sounds like another brilliant idea from Hamida Bano to get rid of Jalal's loneliness 😆 Last time she wanted to send them all together to Salim Chisti. I hope Ruqs misses the boat (both literally and figuratively) trying to match her dupatta and shoes.

HB and her ideas... but, what's with Jodha's tantrum.. can you decipher? 😆 I'm NOT going to deck up, ka kyaa matlab hai? Did ruqs say she is beautiful ONLY because she decks up or something? 🤔

And we're all breaking our heads over a semi-shown precap when with properly relayed precaps itself there's only a 50 50 chance of it being played out these days

Thanks Shraddha for posting your great comments 🤗

Great? Ayooo... thanks for the replies dear 🤗

Dear forum friends ... Thanks so much for all the debates on the precious soul talk yesterday, they helped me get a lot of clarity on the soul talk among other things and really cheered me up. I did't get to respond to each of the posts but I did post an updated view of the episode, soul talk, and future tracks based on your perspectives and debates which I would love for you to visit: http://www.india-forums.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3926282&TPN=15. Thanks once again for all the thought you put in 😊

Okay moving along to todays's episode. I like it a lot .. Perhaps, life is over expectations- I expected a lot yesterday and was disappointed. Today, I went with an open mind and was pleased.

One crib from me is that I felt too much of Maham, Adam, Sharif, Ruq in this episode ...

So, here is my take of top 5 things in today's episode:

(1) Ruqaiyya anger management 101: If there was one thing that always surprised me is how Jalal deals with Ruqs. He first says something that incites her, then gauges her reaction, and then cools her right down. He has done this multiple times. I think he is still trying to figure out why Jodha Begum bothers her so much specifically. I always get fooled by how Jalal starts with Ruqs- I better smarten up quickly or what is the difference between me and Audha begum.😉

For once I was not upset with Jalal in the previous episode and I suspected that the CVs were trying to make people upset and that's why they stopped at the crucial time. I knew he will pacify Ruq and somehow make her happy which he was always successful even before. I also liked when Jalal said Bhakshi will recieve best gift from her brother and sister in law. Here he actually meant Jodha, but Ruqu mistook this for herself.

(2) The gift giving scenes had multiple comparisons between Ruqs and Jodha. Now if the CVs have decided to show Ruqs in a bad light, I might as will enjoy it. There was the more high-level comparison in the choice of gifts with Ruqaiyya being more materialistic and copying Jodha with the palna. However, the bigger distinction was how they gave the gifts. Ruqs asserted she was giving the gift along with Jalal - I don't even know if Jalal knew what the gift was. Jodha openly stated that she was giving the gift with the Shehenshah. However, Jodha gave Jalal the right to present the gift as he was higher than her. I like this respectfulness of Jodha and it shows how she always wanted it to be a gift from Jalal and show Jalal in a good light. 😊

Two other little points I liked about the scene: Jalal coming and standing next to Jodha (she is like a magnet for him) and her firm argument on freeing Sharif citing Adham Khan which would shut both Ruqs and MA (obviously if he was stupid once, he can do it again without objection)

Two parts of the flashback scene that I will site separately as they were distinct:

(3) Jodha's description of a pati-patni relation: yes it could sound like a baashan; however, I think it showed what she expected for her own pati- to support her in sukh and dukh. And Jalal was taking it in like a good student. I hope he follows this advice when the next MU looms over them. I hope this is what it was foreshadowing.

(4) Jodha's point that she can forgive Sharif as he hurt me and not you. How romantic was that! That is all I can say. I love how Jodha's voice trembled at the moment. What a sixer it was! 👏

I agree. This was the best point for me in this episode. I liked the way Jalal's expression changed during that time. I also liked that when Jodha started with the proposal of freeing Sharif, Jalal did not get too angry (normally he gets super angry if Jodha says such things). He was quite calm yesterday.

(5) Ok this is a super minor point but I really think Maham Anga is the new Shaguni Bai. After making some great predictions on the Jodha-Jalal love story, she made a point how she may not be Wazir for long- who knows! I hope she is 100% right and her end is near. 😆

I somehow prefer not to see these negative elements. So I fail to see much of positives when they are on screen. Yesterday there was too much of their presence which I did not like.

Honorable mention: We always wanted to see Jalal jealous and I loved how he didn't like Jodha praising Sharif for helping her. I think it was because it reminds me about how he didn't believe Jodha then while Sharif was helping her. I also like how he yelled at her for meeting a prisoner - but this again foreshadows that he can never punish Jodha. Let's see what Sharif does- I hope he keeps praising Jodha making Jalal all upset and choosing to praise her more.

That's all fine, but I do not want any MU surrounding Jodha and Sharif and I do not want Jodha to go back to Amer. I want both of them to work together and dodge any problems which come in their way.

If you were concerned why there was no precap, just watch yesterday's precap as it didn't happen today unless my eyes chose to ignore the scene. They probably knew we would scream if they showed the same precap again. If I am going to hit someone some day, it is the perhaps the editor of the precaps. We have had a lot of heart burn over precaps lately.

Have a great weekend guys. In addition, please share your thoughts on today's episode!

Great weekend to you too Divya.

Hi Diksha,

Great point. Also, there is a sense of casualness between them, which we could see in their body language today. Like its a natural thing in the world for him to come and stand beside her.

Love

Kshithi
